When does our draft start.

[The BBKL Insider]

Matt Bryuns and Dave will get on this, someone PM them the link. I'm sure it will be decided tonight once those guys see this.

We want this done before the actual draft, correct? Last year, we started Thursday, June 5...end on the 27th.

Monday, June 1 makes perfect sense to me...a few extra days to get this done early. The NHL draft is the 26th and 27th.

I think this makes sense. And then make it a precedent of either always the 1st monday in June. Or always June 1st so it becomes a known date going forward. I'd probably lean towards simply June 1st as it ensures ample time to finish before the NHL draft.
